The Power of Speaking


Speaking is one of the ways most people communicate. It is a way to get a point across, when people speak they can persuade people, inform them, or befriend them. Even if you have the best ideas in the world, no one will listen to you if you cannot speak well.

During the debates of Republicans are having they have to sound confident, know what they are talking about, and present their ideas in a way everyone understands them. They need to know how to communicate with the people they are talking to.

“We talk to other people because we live in a world with them. Even if, sometimes, we feel it is not worth all the trouble listening to other people and finding the right words to say back….” This is related to the debates the Republicans have because some of the questions that get asked are some that they do not want to answer. It could be because it is not about the Presidential race or it is a topic they are shaky on.

Newt Gingrich was asked a question to start off a debate about him trying to convince his wife to let another girl join them in their intimate moments. He got upset about this because this was the first question of the debate and it had nothing to do with what he would do if he was elected President. He did not want to say anything back but he had to say something. He had to speak to show his opinion on the question.

Many people get questions like this everyday. They are the question no one wants to answer but almost everyone has to answer because it is one of the ways that we show courtesy to others. When people get these type of questions they tend to have sarcastic answers to show the one who asked you, you did not like the question even though you did not feel like finding the right words to say back

  1. I think it is very true that people have to be confident in their answers. If they don't have confidence in their answers, how are we suppposed to? Often, if I am asked a question that I am not happy about, I also answer either short or very sarcastic. We have to answer to show our opinions.

  2. I agree with what you are saying. Sometiems, including me, many people hesitates to express their ideas because we care about how others view about our opinion. We should not hesitate to express our opinion unless it hurts others' feelings.
